Mr. Speaker, as the hon. member should know, we have indeed listened to those in Quebec who work with young people. That is why much in our youth justice proposal reflects that which has been done in the province of Quebec. That is why our youth justice package presents flexibility. It is respectful of the local needs of the province of Quebec. However it is also important to remember that we must be respectful of the local needs of others.
In the House of Commons on November 1st, 1999. See this statement in context.
